Thats what you were doing Russ, I thought you were trying to steal his brake pads :wink: :lol:
:-D
Folks were like bee`s round hunny soon as the bonnet went up though were`nt they :-D
And it was so nice that there was no major twocer on track! i did`nt see anyone getting black flag all day! (a first)
The Cateram jockey deserved to be black flagged twice I nearly collected him turning into the esses and he seemed determined to park in someones boot at Russel must be something about the left right sequence

Had a fabulous day ! Great atmosphere and the laps late on were almost empty !

Good to meet a few people from here, I kept asking ginger ninja if he was OK, he just turned to me, grinned and said "yeah ! keep going" :-D

My wife, Lou, was out taking photos as usual, she took loads durin the day, here is a sample of the Bigpower drivers who were there on the day (if you were there but are not on the photos, let me know and i`ll have a look through and see what we`ve got :grin: ).

Drop me a PM if you would like to see the others she took of you.

Quite a few people complained to the marshalls about the tit in the Caterham and i'm sure he was black flagged!
This was only my 2nd track day and was still a little nervous about overtaking at speed, and he really didn't help :x
Here is a link to one of the videos Fezza (James) took whilst as a passenger. As you can see at the start of the vid, he pretty much forced me out of the way. I'm interested to hear your opinions on this.
Sorry about the swearing :oops:

10 out of 10 for effort Jon :D

Some nice driving Sir.... you're already getting a lot smoother and, subsequently, faster so that bodes well.

Well done. For both the driving and the control to resist punching the guy lights out.

Wow, Thanks for the compliment Stuart :grin:
From memory i had to stop James from punching the w*nkers lights out :lol:
I just can't understand why the marshalls continued to let him out on track. I was parked next to him on the pit lane and heard one of the marshalls warn him, and that was at the start of the day :?

I thought the std of driving on the day was very good (on the whole)

Having watched all your videos Jon, I stand by the comments over on the other side - slower in will be faster out. :thumb:
